SEWING-MACHINE CASTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO. 224,788, dated February 24:, 1880.

Application filed. October 20, 1879.

To all whom z't may concern Be it knownthat we, CHARLES H. MOR- LEDGE and LEOPOLD BENNETT, of the city and county of Allegheny, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Im-.

for sewing-machines; and it consists in making said attachments in two parts, adjust-able with relation to each other and the feet of the sewing-machine table through the medium of a coupling-screw.

To enable others skilled in the art to which our invention is most nearly connected to make and use it, we will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

. In the accompanying drawings, which form part of our specification, Figure l is a plan view ofour improvement in caster attachments for sewing-machines. Fig. 2 is a side View of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the same on line y y of Fig. 1.

In the acconipanyingdrawings, A and B represent the two parts to which the casters gare pivoted, as shown at h. The parts A and B are provided with recesses f, into which are placed the outer flanges of the feet of the table for the sewing-machine. The parts A and B are coupled together through the medium of a screw, 0, and the screw-nuts e e, forming parts of the partsA and B. The screw 0 is furnished, in this case, with right and left hand screwthreads, which are fitted to the screw-threads of the nuts 0 e of the parts A and B. The screw 0 is at w adapted in form for the reception of a wrench or other tool for turning it.

will draw the parts A and B toward each other, thereby securely connecting the said parts to the feet by simply turning the screw 0. To remove said parts from the feet of the table the screw Gis turned in the opposite direction.

The simplicity of construction and facility of manipulation of our improvement in caster attachments for sewing-machines will make it a very desirable appendage to a sewing-ma chine and will supply a want long felt by manufacturers, dealers, and users of sewing.

machines.

We are aware that sewing-machine-caster frames formed in two parts and adj ustably secured together are old, and such we do not wish to be understood as claiming, broadly, as our invention; but,

Having thus described our improvement, what we claim as of our invention is- In a caster attachment for sewing-machines, the combination of the parts A B, provided with the recesses ff and screw-nuts e e and the intermediate connecting right and left hand screw 0, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
